Covid-19 cases in Phl near 24,000 as 2 OFWs test negative, then positive

10 June 2020

By  The SUN

DOH tally as of June 10

The number of coronavirus disease cases in the Philippines has climbed up to 23,732 today, Jun 10, with an additional 740 cases being recorded by the Department of Health.

The new cases consisted of 452 “fresh” cases, meaning those where the result was released to the patient within the past three days, and 288 “late” reports, or those that were reported four days or more days ago.
There was one repatriate among the fresh cases, and a significant 45 repatriates among the late cases, meaning newly returned overseas Filipino workers are still not getting their test results on time so they can be treated immediately.

In its daily update, The DOH said the cases reported today were based on the accomplishment reports by only 47 out of 54 current operational labs, indicating the total tally could be higher.
